Upgrade runtime nodes

Important: Upgrade the GR node and any IDE-only nodes before upgrading runtime nodes.

After you upgrade the GR and IDE, all runtime nodes continue to run. This enables you to upgrade the run-time nodes individually when it is convenient.

Important: After you have upgraded the GR node, and you have migrated the galaxy, you will not be able to deploy or undeploy from the GR node to remote nodes which have not yet been upgraded. Once remote node upgrade is complete, deployment functionality returns. Also, an upgraded IDE node will not be able to connect to a GR node that has not been upgraded.

Upgrading a run-time node will remove (undeploy) any deployed Platforms from that node.

After you upgrade and then deploy a runtime node, it continues to function with other runtime nodes as long as the other nodes are the current version or from the previous version.

The runtime node does not function while you are upgrading it. You cannot roll back the upgrade.

After you upgrade the runtime node and all hosted objects, you need to redeploy the WinPlatform and all hosted objects to the node.

The GR node migration fails if the GR node is used as a runtime node for another GR.

To upgrade a runtime node

1. Run Setup.exe from the DVD. See Upgrade, modify, and repair System Platform for information about the installation process.

   When the Installation Complete dialog box appears, select Configure to continue.

2. Configuration: Configure licensing, the System Management Server, and other installed features, such as the Historian and the InTouch Web Client. See Get started with Configurator for details.

3. When prompted, select Restart Now to complete the upgrade.
